Takashi, do I need to resend them?
Yes, but you seen to have missed my first comment. Here again:
Sorry about the missing. :)
==========================================================
+menuconfig SND_REDUCED_MEMORY_FOOTPRINT
- bool "Reduced Memory Footprint Support"
- default n
- help
Say 'Y' to enable Reduced Memory Footprint Support, which mayreduce code size and data footprint as much as possible.I'd like to move this into sound/core. Also, the kconfig name appears a bit too lengthy to me. ========================================================== ======
And, after reading this again, I wonder whether we just take the existing CONFIG_EXPERT for allowing the selection of more knobs like CONFIG_SND_PROC_FS.
SND_PROC_FS bool "Sound proc file" if EXPERT
Sounds good. Then we don't need 'SND_REDUCED_MEMORY_FOOTPRINT' any more? Or we can keep it as root menu of the set of items, just as below? (I changed it to SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT, as your comment above)
I originally thought to select items from SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT, but this doesn't seem to work. At least, "de"selecting isn't supported by Kconfig (i.e. set SND_PROC_FS=n when SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT=y). We may have SND_NO_PROC_FS and select it, but it's too bad.
So, IMO, we can drop SND_SMALL_FOOTPRINT but let users choose each knob when EXPERT=y.
